1,. A guy doing a video about tuning who states my method is incorrect
2. He only spoke about what the needle do, not how to use them.
3. I approached him in a tactful manner asking him to elaborate on his method, as I don't see how it can possibly be used to race tune an engine.
4. You see, as he decided to go out of his way and state I was wrong with my technique, I thought it was a great chance to dialogue. Instead of dialogue, he (as I expected) got shitty and went in to the ol' "I been tuning engines for 20 years and I'm an auto technician so I'm a pro.."
(Well, see below for some highlights)
How was it I knew he'd respond as such? Well, here are the common denominators:
1, He was 'reading' what the parts on the engine do...not explain how to tune.
2. His 'assumption' about tuning was wrong, so I knew from there he is a fraud.
3. Of course the face he thinks he's a high-roller with his HPI engine (I have four of them, BTW), showed me where his bar was (not very high).
4. It cast in stone when I noticed he had a lot of videos, but no running nitro videos.
5. After I challenged him (both tactfully and in a way he can understand: grimy-like: he lifted up his skirt and banned me, essentially saying I was a noob and not good enough to dialogue with him. I told him I was still a newbie, and he literally said "I don't deal with newbies: blocked"**
6. HE PROMOTES THOSE SUPER-CHARGERS. Okay, I know nothing about them, other thebn everyone know who touts them, well they can't tune for shit.
These are the lies these guys live in. Any thinking person knows the truth, so why does he go that route. Does he think people will say "yeah....you are more skilled then this Newbie!!" and not analyze what's real? That is a slap in his viewers faces, no?
Look...say what you want, but if someone called out my manhood on anything I man'd up about, I would go down swinging. Win or lose, respect mine.However I'm just amazed at what little bitches are out their yapping their mouths like this. Grown-ass men, to boot!
So with that, I thought I'd break down the most common 'responses; I see when I essentially put it down on what of these confidence men. I might not be a "pro" at RC (like the subject matter in question call himself, but I am a pro at dealing with charlatans like this. Couple this with the fact instead of being an automotive tech, I'm a pansy computer nerd, so I'll put that shit to some use with deez stats. ;-)
98% Block Me
2% I block when they get on that silly shit ("I'll kill you and your family you faggot" type shit...of coruse I'm easy to find in this area so if you are about that I appreciate the heads up) ;-)
100% - I'm the MF'ing boss and call the shots when it gets like that. Keep reading, you'll see what I mean.
Of the 98% that block me, I approached 100% of them with tact and dignity. I know this because, well it's how I am. I figure if anything, I've performed my due dilligence by playing nice, but I can indeed take it anywhere that I please. I
46% End up saying: 'I've got better things to do than make videos". I find this funny because I agree in that they instead spend all their on forums jibber-jabbing instead of filming and showing their shit.
17% State: "I'm just a basher" which confuses me because they are the ones tellling people about thick diff oil,. and sway bars and clutch shoes etc. etc yet end up saying 'whoa--whoa...I'm not in to all thart" when questioned. ???
14% End up stating: "I'm not a pro I do this for the fun of it". This simply shows me they don't tune in, because more so than anyone, I've downplayed any "cred" I have and instead focused on the fact I'm just a ...m. ..t. . ...r.. well, you already know.
12% Say: "I'm like to tune my engines on the rich side" (or "I don't lean out my engines"). First: I've shown the longevity of my engines and lay it down with every disadvantage I can come up with. It's not lke I show brand new engines in my clip. Many of them are old ragedy-ass stock engines I get straight thumping. Second, tuning rich or lean means you aren't tuned. I'm done trying to explain that.
8%: Say what this guy does: "You're a newbie and cannot possibly know more than me" All the while have NOTHING to show and some how think people are going to believe that?
3% Don't say a damn word.
To that end, I will say I've had a few come up and say "man, you are right I just got caught up but I would like to learn more" and to a man I've helped ALL of them as I could. So no bully here...but at that same time if you pretend to be something you aren't, to the point it's taking money out of people's pockets, people who don't know any better yet...I'm saying something.
LASTLY:
So with all this said, the above is actually a small minority. As in less than 1% of the folks I deal with. The other %99+ are good fellas and regular guys who simply get it. I learn from them and vice-versa. It's the predatory nature of the blowhards I think should be called out. And (this will be the final time I say this), please understand it doesn'ty 'get to me'. Just because someone stands up for what they believe it doesn't mean it's altering their mindset or behavior. It's simply one of many wrongs I try to make better. If we all did as such, well...you already know. ;-)
Fuaally, below is the comedy in full effect. He kept posting comments asking me questions, but I was blocked so I can't respond, so that shows what bitch this f*ck-boy really is.
**For anyone out there who, like myself, are a newbie. Have no shame. Don't let these cowards bully-talk you. This is nothing but silly-ass RC cars, so know this: the ones that act as such, it won't be long before you surpass them. They are stunted all-the-way around, so just keep doing your thing, and lean on the folks who you know are legit (there are plenty of them out there). http://nitrorcnerds.com is a great place to start!
